negative camber?

[badboy2]

Is there away to stop neagative camber when riding around lowered?

Yeah you can have it aligned at that height, then have positive camber when lifted! That' s the pain of the long/short control arms. Most if not all vehicles have this issue, and it' s unpreventable. That' s why you pick a ride height, and use that most of the time, and just cruise at a lowered height once in a while for showing off, cruising the strip.... Sure it wears tires, but that' s one of the pains of riding in style!

Negative camber is not your biggest tire wear offender as many people think, if this is your major concern. The optimal airbag suspension for most applications would involve equal legth upper and lower control arm, and steering link lengths, allowing for the camber and toe to remain the same during suspension travel. But this will usually require much fabrication.

Unless you have a static lowered Ranger like my buddy had, going through tires pretty bad cause the inside would wear faster than the outside of the tire even with a camber alignment kit. Nothing worse than changing a tire cause only half of it is worn out and the other half has 50% tread left! [:@]

I have had cars that were lowered and not on bags or hydraulics, that had severe negative camber. With the toe set properly, I barely had a tire wear issue at all. Toe adjustment becomes incresingly more important the more severe your camber is though.

Yeah, you never know, I didn' t do the alignment on my buddy' s Ranger so I can' t say for sure how his toe setup was like? I know for a fact that I do notice more inside wear on my tires on my S-10 setup and I have the sheets to prove that my toe alignment is bang on as well for camber at 110PSI in the front bags and 70 PSI in the rear, they even aligned my rear axle as well when they did all this. They only thing they couldn' t trim down was my castor angle.

My camber changes less then 1 degree when dropped......

no. You have your alingment set at ride height. if you ride tucking tire then that' s teh risk you take. I went to a big show in FL (blood drag) and i live in Mass. So when me and my buddies got to NC the roads were wicked smooth. So i basically road tucked tire the rest of the way. I had to get a new tire while i was down there. If you have large wheel/tire combo then it' ll be worse when ur tucking. If you run small wheel/tire it won' t be as noticeable.
